Measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is a combination vaccine used to prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. In Hong Kong, this vaccine is usually given in infancy, with the first dose usually at 12-15 months of age and the second dose at 18-24 months of age. After vaccination, most people will gain long-term immunity and effectively prevent infection from these three diseases. The primary purpose of vaccination is to protect individuals from these infectious diseases while also contributing to community-wide herd immunity. Vaccination may cause some mild side effects, such as fever, pain at the injection site, or mild discomfort, but in most cases these symptoms disappear quickly. If you have any concerns or need more information, please consult your doctor or health care professional.
How to use: Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is usually injected into the upper arm muscle. There is no need to take it with food, but medical staff will ask about allergy history and other information before injection. Excessive activity should be avoided after vaccination to avoid discomfort at the injection site.
Dosing Guidelines: A single 0.5 ml dose of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is generally recommended for adults and children. For children, the first dose is usually given at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. For adults, if they have not received this vaccine before, it is recommended to receive two doses, with the second dose 1 to 2 months after the first dose. Additional doses or timing of vaccination may be needed for certain high-risk groups, such as health care workers or travelers. Healthcare professionals should be consulted for personalized advice before vaccination.
The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is generally safe and effective, but it may cause minor side effects, including redness and swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, and fatigue. Serious side effects are very rare but may include allergic reactions, neurological problems, or low platelets. If any serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Most people experience only mild discomfort after vaccination, which usually goes away on its own within a few days. If you have any concerns, you should check with your doctor.
Drug contraindications are situations that certain groups of people should avoid when using specific drugs. There are some contraindications to the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR vaccine) that you need to be aware of:
1. Anaphylaxis: People who are allergic to any component of the MMR vaccine should not receive the vaccine. Allergic reactions may include symptoms such as difficulty breathing, hives, and throat swelling.
2. Pregnant women: Pregnant women should not receive the MMR vaccine during pregnancy because of possible risks to the fetus. Vaccination is recommended before or after pregnancy.
3. Impaired immune system: People with immune system problems, such as those who have received organ transplants, are undergoing chemotherapy, or suffer from immunodeficiency diseases, may not be suitable for MMR vaccine.
4. People with serious diseases: People with serious diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, etc., should decide whether to receive the MMR vaccine under the advice of a doctor.
In general, you should inform your doctor about your health conditions before receiving the MMR vaccine to ensure that you are suitable for receiving the vaccine. Following your doctor's recommendations can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the vaccination process.

Are you referring to the measles vaccine (MMR vaccine)? Measles vaccination should be done with caution during pregnancy. According to medical professional advice, receiving the MMR vaccine during pregnancy may cause harm to the fetus. Therefore, if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should consult your doctor before receiving the vaccine.
If you're not sure if you're pregnant, it's recommended to get tested before getting the measles vaccine to be sure. Pregnancy should be avoided for at least one month after vaccination to ensure that the body has enough time to respond to the immune response caused by the vaccine.
To protect yourself and your baby's health, be sure to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss and screen before any medical procedure. Thank you for caring about your health and your baby. Good luck with your pregnancy.
